Chapter 450: Stealing a Chicken, Losing the Rice
Chang Fang was making breakfast in the kitchen. After flipping the eggs in the pot, she couldn't help but say, "Why don't we just leave it in front of the government office? That way, the government will come forward to solve the problem!"
"I think we should just send it back. The government is somewhat unreliable!" Pan Shaonan gave a more affirmative answer.
"Why?" Qu Feng has been in the Divine Doctor Sect for many years and is not very familiar with the government in Silver Moon City.
Pan Shaonan shook his head, as if this was not obvious.
"It's been more than a month since we found the missing child. What else can we expect from them? Don't let us suffer while they take the credit. How worthless!"
This seems to make sense, but Ran Qingxuan did these things mainly because it was related to Qi Jing.
The reason for rescuing the people was simply because I didn't want Qi Jing's plan to go ahead.
Moreover, these children are innocent. If she doesn't save them after seeing them, she will definitely regret it afterwards.
"I have an idea, I wonder if it will work..."
Gu Yanchen, who participated in the whole process, sat on the sofa with his arms folded, looking at the people who were discussing.
Several people looked at him. Qu Feng told him not to be mysterious, but Ran Qingxuan signaled him to speak.
"Let the Marquis of Zhenbei come forward and investigate the surrounding area under the guise of investigating the explosion of the Salt Gang. Once his people search everywhere and find the child, everything will go smoothly..."
Ran Qingxuan's eyes lit up: "Yes! Xianshui Town is within the fiefdom of Zhenbei Marquis. Although matters like missing children are handled by the government, if he comes forward to investigate today's incident, wouldn't it be just right if he finds the child by the way?"
But thinking about it, Ran Qingxuan became a little worried and hesitated, "But will this cause trouble for Zhenbei Hou? After all, it was Qi Jing who did it..."
Qi Jing might just not have found a suitable reason, or an excuse to cause trouble for Marquis Zhenbei, which could be a fatal matter in serious cases.
Gu Yanchen sneered, a hint of sarcasm flashing across his face.
"I forgot to tell you that Dan Qi's pigeon message just arrived. You can guess what it says."
Ran Qingxuan raised his eyebrows and became visibly excited.
"Qi Jing was killed by our bombing?"
Gu Yanchen looked at her and smiled helplessly, shaking his head: "It seems that we all want him to die, but he was lucky. His secret guard blocked the disaster for him at the moment of the explosion."
"What? This didn't kill him. It seems he's really lucky!"
Thinking that there were other people with Qi Jing, Ran Qingxuan asked, "Where is the Salt Gang leader Bai Kangning? Is he dead?"
Gu Yanchen shook his head: "Seriously injured..."
Bai Kangning is not as his name suggests. Not only has he done many evil things, but he has also monopolized the livelihoods of many salt merchants by reselling private salt.
The common people were unable to buy salt normally, and he even sold a lot of salt to the foreign ghosts and the Blue Rain people. It can be said that he was a complete villain.
"But he is not in a good condition now, because he was closest to the room where the explosives were placed. He was burned by the fire from the explosion and half of his hair was burned off."
"His leg and arm on the same side were also burned. He was still unconscious when we received the news. Doctors from the entire Silver Moon City and even from several surrounding cities were called by his people and are currently treating him."
As he spoke, Gu Yanchen raised his eyes and looked at Pan Shaonan.
"You are lucky. If you were still in the city now, you would definitely be taken away."
"Can this thing be taken away by force?"
"No, my prince. The emperor's power is greater than heaven. If you dare to resist, you might be beheaded..."
Chang Fang made some jokes on the side, after all, in her opinion, this is how it is played on TV.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yanchen directly confirmed her statement.
“He would really do that, and the people who were injured in the explosion and treated by you were Qi Jing’s men.
Once he knows that gunpowder had injured people before, and that you were the one who treated those injured, and that he was blown up after you escaped, he might link the incident to you.
And he will definitely try his best to find you! ”
Pan Shaonan didn't expect that he had found trouble for himself without realizing it, and he suddenly felt uncomfortable.
"I should have rejected the person who invited me earlier. Now I can't go home, and my parents, wife and children have to hide in the mansion of Young Marquis Duan."
Given the relationship between Pan Shaonan and Ran Qingxuan, it was rare for Gu Yanchen to offer comfort.
"It's relatively safe there. Besides, Qi Jing's people are probably in a state of panic right now. If his men don't dare to report their mistakes, maybe you will be safe."
"That's right. Qi Jing can't stay in Silver Moon City to treat his injuries. Given his life-saving nature, he will definitely visit famous doctors along the way. If nothing goes wrong, he will definitely seek help from a miracle doctor.
But now, all the miracle doctors have left, and the ones left are just little pharmacists who sweep and dry the medicines..."
Thinking about his expression as if he had made a wasted trip, Ran Qingxuan felt extremely happy.
"God bless him and let him die on the road, otherwise he would really be sorry for all the things he did and didn't do." Ran Qingxuan clicked his tongue and couldn't help but complain.
The burns on Qi Jing's body must be treated immediately, because if an infection occurs, his life will be over.
"No matter what, the current situation is resolved now. I will find Zhenbei Hou and explain the matter to him after daybreak. I don't think he will refuse."
Duan Yinghe and Gu Yanchen's father Gu Feng are the same kind of people. They care about the people and will never sit idly by and do nothing.
"Since this decision has been made, let's quickly find the Marquis of Zhenbei and discuss the matter first, otherwise there will be too many variables."
Qu Feng and the others just got a general idea. Just as Gu Yanchen guessed, after the explosion, Qi Jing would definitely kill the children first in order to achieve the purpose of silencing them.
But if the child they couldn't find was found by Marquis Zhenbei, Qi Jing might suspect Marquis Zhenbei of the bombing of the Salt Gang, and this was what Ran Qingxuan was worried about.
"Since the Marquis of Zhenbei cares about the people, I will go back and ask the three families who lost their children in my village to come to the Marquis of Zhenbei's mansion and make a big fuss so that the Marquis of Zhenbei will have to intervene!"
Ran Qingxuan's eyes lit up: "Yes, anyway, we will tell Zhenbei Hou in advance. Qi Jing was closest to the explosion point, and he was injured like that and was still unconscious. He must have suffered a concussion.
If we act quickly, maybe the children can be sent home before he wakes up. ”
The second half of the sentence was addressed to Gu Yanchen. He pondered for a few seconds, raised his eyes and stood up.
"Get out now. You and Miss Chang go back to the village and bring people here. I'll go to the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion to find the Zhenbei Marquis."
Qu Feng and Pan Shaonan stayed behind to look after the children to prevent them from seeing anything unusual in the space after they woke up.
The three of them left the space and informed Fang Zhixing before driving away.
The city gate opened at six o'clock, and it was not yet seven o'clock. The car took only a few minutes to arrive, and we changed to another horse-drawn carriage before entering the city.
"Fortunately there is space to store these things, otherwise it would be very troublesome no matter what time it is."
